| So we are 10 games in with Tony Smith, with 5 wins and 5 losses. (including the Leeds game which he didnt select)
W - 5, L - 5, F - 277, A - 246 Diff +31
I'm reasonably (8/10) happy with what he has done considering what he inherited. Everyone else content?

| Very pleased.
Take out the Quins deable, which I don't blame him for, and the points difference takes a different shape.
95% of the squad have shown improvement in form to some degree, and many of them have improved immensely. So much so, there's folk that I'd wrote off, like Vinnie Anderson for example, who now looks a completely different player.
I feel like our future, could not be in safer hands.
I also love that thing he does, where he pretends he can't hear the SKY interviewer, and strains, and the fact that he doesn't take any messing during those chats, he puts things straight etc.
He's very much 'The Man'.

| a number of players are playing their best rugby at the club since smith has arrived.....I cant think of any player who's performances have gone worse.
And he's got Vinnie Anderson and Matt King playing well which is good work on its own....!!!
his biggest job is getting something out of Monaghan....

very happy , entertaining and good rugby, this weekend showed we could potentially beat a form team with a few of our big hitters out of the team.
I think we can only go up from here .

On the Monaghan point I believe he is playing much better of late, including on Sunday.

| His biggest achievement IMO was getting shut of Gleeson and managing to get £100k for him in the process
His second biggest is getting Briers almost into line, although my guess is that their 'relationship' will be fairly short lived.
Nice one Tony lad

| After the quins game i was thinking you could pretty much write our season off.
Now, i'm quite positive and looking forward to each game alot more than i was before.
I genuinely think we have a great chance in the challange cup and i think we should easily make the play-offs.
Sunday's game for me was a blip, silly penalties, a couple of dodgy ref calls and we still only lost by 8 points.
Roll on the next game.

| At least we can see progress is being made, young players are coming on. Having no relegation is good it has taken the pressure off and is allowing us to build, the results are not that important to me at the moment, its more important that we develop players and have something in place for next season. If we start putting things together towards the end of the season, go on a good run and nick 7th or 8th place then we can have a good shot at whoever we get in the playoffs and finish our season on a credible note. Ditto with the Challenge Cup.

| People were saying 3 months ago at losing was easier to take if the players had put the effort in....
Well it seems we're at that stage now.

| You can see what he is implementing, albeit the changes are quite slight. I can't see us breaking any pots this season, for the simple reason Che hasn't had an off season with the squad. I would like to think we will be a more complete unit next season.

| Smith's also got the fans onside at the moment with all this Smith revolution, Che Smith stuff, I reckon he's got a few more months of that before he starts to lose favour and the first Smith out brigade emerges on the forum. At Leeds they started in his third season but that was because they won Super League and the World Club Challenge and got to two finals in his second year delaying the critics.
Nobody has been talking about the World Cup recently and how it was supposedly Smith's fault that we lost to the Aussies and Kiwis because the Saints and Leeds players didn't talk to each other in the dinner queue or something.
